HDCD music suggestions???

Hi all. I still have my Arcam Alpha 8SE CD/HDCD player; just can't seem to part with it. Use my Cambridge Azur for the newer 24-bit discs, but still really enjoy the HDCD format. I have the Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen HDCD boxsets, and a few Mark Knopfler discs, and a smattering of others, but I'd like to pick up more. I like Jazz, and I have Patricia Barber's Cafe Blue HDCD, but she's a bit dark for my tastes. Any suggestions for high quality HDCD recordings?? Upbeat Jazz, anything with nice quitar or drum tracks; all suggestions welcome. Many thanks!!

Many Talking Heads are in HDCD--Stop Making Sense remastered is very good quality

All Grateful Dead have been HDCD since mid 90s, and all new releases are in this format

Some David Grisman and Jerry Garcia releases are HDCD

Dave Brubeck, Time Out remaster is a killer HDCD, but isn't labeled as such! You know when the red light is on.......

Enjoy!!

Great suggestion re: Dave Brubeck's "Time Out" in HDCD; unbelievable audio. Absolutely superb audiophile quality, and extra so given that it was originally recorded in 1969!! The HDCD re-mastering is other-worldly!!
